Breast Developing

My friend said that after two years of your period your chest and stuff stops growing. Is that true? And is there any way to make my chest grow faster? Please email me a.s.a.p.

Mindy,

Breast growth can continue into your late teens so don't panic yet! You have your own internal timetable.

The size and shape of your breasts depend mostly on the amount of fatty tissue. The more fat in the breast, the larger the breast will look. The major factor in the size of your breasts is heredity. (You can inherit from both sides of your family—so don't just look at your mom for clues as to how you will develop). Weight or height has less to do with breast size.

Try to be patient and think of yourself as a "work in progress"!

Hope this is helpful,

Like everyone else, I have small boobs! I'm in 8th grade and all the girls have bigger boobs. I feel like their not growing. I think I'm expecting more and then getting disappointed. I can't help but but expect to "wake up in the morning and, wam! Their there" any ideas of how I can get my mind off what to expect and be patient?

I no it is kinda weird but I'm on my period and I just went bra shopping. I feel so good. P.s don't worry if u have smaller boobs than somebody else who cares. I wear a 36B and my friend is flat chested.

Kara333 it takes time for your body to know when its time to grow. Just hang in there and wait. It'll happen don't worry.

My chest is so weird! At one point my boobs got bigger but then they kinda shrunk again! Is this normal?
